Embodiment
An embodiment of irrigating plant device shown in Figure 1, and this irrigating plant device entirety by reference numeral 10 is represented.In this embodiment, this irrigating plant device has the preferential water permeable membrane (preferentially water permeable) (with vertical line represent) of small pieces of cloth used for patches in permeable conduit 14.Yet in another embodiment, conduit is identical with film.In these embodiments, conduit 14 is droping irrigating pipes.Conduit as shown in Figure 1 can be carried water outlet 20 from film 12.Conduit 14 is air blown polyethylene pipes.Conduit 14 can be at one end 15 sealings or be communicated with water source 22 at two ends alternatively.Irrigation conduit 14 is buried kind at least in part and is implanted with in the soil 16 in the arable land of plant 18 grades for example.Conduit 14 carryings contain the brackish water 20 such as dissolving salts such as sodium chloride.Conduit 14 is connected to the water source 22 that replenished by the open water supply of brackish water and by water source 22 gravity water supplies.Water is not exerted pressure specially and is not needed pressure greater than water 20 is transported to pressure required in the conduit 14 in this embodiment.Usually, as in the present embodiment, hydraulic pressure at about environmental stress in up to several atmospheric scopes.Yet in some optional embodiment, irrigating plant device 10 can comprise the low-pressure pump that is used for water 20 is transported to conduit 14.Film 12 makes the brackish water 20 that is supplied in the conduit separate with the root system 24 of plant 18.
In this embodiment, underground drip irrigation pipeline 14 with brackish water at least in part demineralization and/or desalination to provide to plant 18 than fresh water (fresher water).Should be understood that along with the membrane technology that can be applied to the irrigating plant device becomes better, droping irrigating pipe can be with greatly desalination of salt solution.Desalination utilizes the counter osmosis of water 20 process films 12 to realize.12 pairs of water of film 20 and the salt that is dissolved in the water have the selectivity conveying characteristic.Reverse-osmosis treated is not mainly as seawater desalination equipment to carry out by water 20 is exerted pressure, for example the seawater desalination equipment of building at Sydney Kurnell of operating to 70 crust hydraulic pressure or the atmospheric pressure at 40 crust.Fortunately, the brackish water desalination is needed less pressure, 2 to 17 atmospheric pressure.The water potential gradient of impelling reverse osmosis to take place is in the present invention provided by soil 16 and plant root 24, and the flow of water of soil 16 and plant root 24 is all significantly less than the flow of water of brackish water 20 itself.However, it is to be understood that in certain embodiments, exerting pressure to a certain degree is useful.
From another point of view, be diffused into being sucked away than fresh water of outer surface place of film 12 under the capillarity as the soil 16 of good capillary medium (wicking medium), water 20 is ordered about by osmosis to enter in the root 24 then.The flow of water of the root flow of water than soil usually is low.This further promotes the clean conveying that the molecule of water 20 passes film 12.The flow of water does not promote salt to pass the conveying of film 12, so salt is limited in supplying with in the water 20 basically.
In the normal running of this embodiment, the rising water loss of plant 18 makes the low flow of water 16 appear at 24 places, root surface.This works and water is drawn to root 24 from soil 16.When near the soil the root 16 is drained,, this soil absorbs water from the farther place thereby also presenting the low flow of water.The representative value of this flow of water extremely-15 clings in the scope of (permanent wilting point) at-0.1 crust (field capacity).About-3 crust are enough to keep enough water fluxes (water flux) to-5 root flows of water of clinging to and pass film 12.This is in the normal condition of plant fully.
Because thereby plant 18 produces pressure gradients with water sucking-off irrigation conduit 14, therefore only in the active position sucking-off of plant root 24 than fresh water 20.The remainder that this means pipeline 14 is because water potential gradient inwardly and not is discharged into water in the soil 16.Therefore, will be minimum from building up in the soil 16, and the slight solute that can cause by means of the rainwater by chance move and easily controls salt and build up than the salt of fresh water.
Film 12 is reverse osmosis membranes and is fine and close synthetic polymer membranes that this polymer is a polyamide.Usually, the standard film that 10 μ m-40 μ m are thick (for example film of being made by Dow Chemicals) should be suitable.According to other parameters such as the salt content of water and for example rising water loss speed, following film is suitable: promptly, water flux is at 0.1-20L/m under the atmospheric pressure of 1-10 2In the scope of/hr and desalination rate (salt removal) be the film of 50%-100%.Film 12 utilizes 14 interfacial polycondensations is deposited.In other embodiments, film can be CAM, ultrafiltration and/or NF membrane.Cellulose acetate provides acceptable desalination amount for drip irrigation in many cases.In addition, because cellulose acetate is hydrolyzed on pH 5.5, so can in position pipe be dissolved with the alkaline solution flushing pipe.Because the easy biological degradation of cellulose, so different with the existing persistence polyethylene pipe that pollutes the arable land, such subsoil drip irrigation pipe will provide more continuable method.For the film embodiment identical with conduit, this advantage can exist.
Especially in the conduit embodiment identical with film, the drip irrigation belt is the suitable form that pipeline adopts, and this is because the drip irrigation belt can leave from the spool at hauling machine rear and enter the ready groove.
Fig. 2 illustrates the cutaway view of an embodiment of whole droping irrigating pipe by Reference numeral 130 expressions, and wherein, conduit and film are same parts and by Reference numeral 132 expressions.Droping irrigating pipe 130 can be formed by for example cellulose or other any suitable membrane material.That is to say that film is configured to conduit.Conduit has nominal center axis 135.Droping irrigating pipe 130 can form by for example following steps: at first film is poured into sheet material, the opposite edges of sheet material are bonded together and then the edge is fixed together to form conduit.The fixing of edge can be by for example heating and/or anneal or realize by means of the use bonding agent.Film 132 is configured to promote turbulent flow to appear near the film 132 in the droping irrigating pipe 130 the fluids stream.In this example, surface 133 comprises following feature, and this feature adopts the form of for example fold 134 that promotes that turbulent flow produces.Fold 134 can have various structures, for example parallel and crooked fold 136 among Fig. 4 or for example interfolding 138,140 of the formation crosshatch pattern among Fig. 5.
Fig. 3 illustrates the cutaway view of integral body by another embodiment of the droping irrigating pipe of Reference numeral 142 expressions, and this droping irrigating pipe has the conduit 144 that small pieces of cloth used for patches has film 146.Conduit comprises following feature, and this feature adopts the form of fold 148 to make film 146 be configured as the promotion turbulent flow and produces.In this example, film is configured as and has fold.
Certainly, should be understood that, can for example protrusion or depressed part wait and replace fold by arbitrary characteristics that can turbulization.
